1974- At 10:45 a.m., while driving a combine to harvest his rape crop on a rainy morning on his farm five miles northwest of Langenburg, Saskatchewan, Canada,farmer Edwin Fuhr, age 36, noticed a metallic dome-shaped object about 50 feet away and stopped to investigate. Walking to within 15 feet of it, Fuhr saw that it was spinning and swirling the grass beneath it. This frightened him and he backed away. Climbing back on the harvester, he looked around and saw four more identical domes "like brushed stainless steel" arranged in a rough semi-circle, all hovering and spinning 12 to 18 inches above the ground. At this point he could not get the throttle and steering wheel of the swather to respond. One object suddenly took off, quickly followed by the other four, ascending in a step formation. At about 200 feet they stopped, each emitting a puff of gray vapor from exhaust-like extensions at the base. The vapor extended about six feet, followed by a downward gust of wind which flattened the rape in the immediate area. The objects then formed a straight line, hovered for a minute or two, and then suddenly ascended into the low cloud cover and disappeared. There were five rings of depressed grass swirled in a clockwise fashion at the landing sites. There was no evidence of heat or burning. Some additional circles were found in the area later that month. Fuhr later learned that cattle in a nearby field had bellowed and broken through a fence about the time of the sighting.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Constable Ron Morier, quoted by Canadian Press, said: "Something was there and I doubt it was a hoax. There's no indication anything had been wheeled in or out and Mr. Fuhr seemed genuinely scared." Later Morier told an investigator, "There is no way that this is a hoax....Whatever was in there, it came out of the air and departed the same way, as far as I could tell."
